[ABBERANT_INCANDESCENCE]:
hello! do you like furniture? do you want to know about what i've cobbled together. wait no longer. well, actually a bit longer for some of them. we're starting things off with something that's actually complete. i think it'd be silly to start with things i haven't gotten done.
unfortunately i can't get a good picture of the thing at the moment, so, while we're waiting i can instead entertain you with the knowledge of what it is, what its made of, and some of the thought behind it.
what is it? you ask. well, i'm glad you asked! SIMULACRUM OF KINDLING IN DEDICATION OF DISTANCE AND REFLECTION ON THE PRESENT AND FUTURE WITH REGARDS TO THE ENDEAVORS OF THE PAST is a piece that takes heavily from a series of letters between me and my pen pal, who, if they've managed to get things through, will also leave a comment here, hopefully. Anyhow, SOKIDODAROTPAFWRGTTEOTP is at its most basic form, an electric fireplace. it's wired up to produce some nice warmth and glow.
like many fireplaces, it's made as a spot to sit in front of. now, instead of fire, one of the great features of this is a bit of modification of a pre-existing device, gutted, rewired set up in an alcove at the front, and paired to a remote controller. some better speakers and some lighting alongside the aforementioned heating, and bam. you have the essence of comfort and inspiration. or something of that nature. a combination of the modern device and the beating heart of a home.
now you might notice i once again have yet to tell you what the device is. you're going to have to hold onto your hat a little longer. i'm not there yet! anyhow, so i mocked up a little. computer diagram of some shapes that will get you some idea of the thing uh, note. the actual thing isn't actually opaque, and its missing some of the other details but this should give you an idea of the shape and i'll get to the rest later.
so anyhow
you have something meant to resemble and perform a function of a storied part of a home. and you have a modern recreation of it. that alone isn't quite enough though, so it gets better. the piece itself is composed of translucent bricks of plastic. with the opaque adhesive, it forms a sort of grid! the aforementioned additional lighting is inside of the casing, casting a vibrant form of warmth that contrasts that of a fire. the remote controller has a section for controlling the lighting, flickering, heat, and sound. also of course, as with any worthwhile electronic thing you can see into, the gutted and rewired form of the original device, as well as the speakers and heating elements are visible through the casing.
now, you may think to yourself. what device encapsulates the same sort of importance as a fireplace, but has a unique charm and something interesting to say.
well, a pet would be a pretty good answer. to many, they are a decently old tradition, they capture warmth and safety, and well, of course are very unique.
but that's not a device you may object, but you can put your hand down. and also put your other hand down. no creatures were harmed in the making of this. shh. im talking virtual pets. in the misc bits i got from the pawn shop there was one that had a really charming creature and aesthetic but the device was kinda just an opaque brick, naturally, i decided it must be reworked. and i had this idea for a fireplace thing already so bam. this was the right answer. slam them together.
it was kind of a pain getting the thing working again, and getting some remote controls to properly work instead of the keys, but it was worthwhile, i think.
and, the combination of two imitations in a related form is pretty interesting, i think.
i've got a bit more to say on the matter but i have some work to get done so i'll continue this in a reply in a bit. i think i covered most of the main ideas behind the bit as well as the major features. i'll try to slap in anything i forgot or left out that makes sense to add. might write a small note about the actual virtual pet device and what it actually is like. i figured it'd be best to stick to the bits i actually did for this introduction though, so that might also very well be relegated to some other place that makes more sense.
feel free to ask any questions or commebts or whatever you have if you're reading this. i'll get to those when i can.
